16S library prep + Nebnext

11-15-2015, 07:11 AM

I want to characterize some microbial communities by Miseq sequencing of 16S libraries using the primers 341F/805R (reported in Klindworth 2012). Illumina's "16S Metagenomic Sequencing Library Preparation" uses the same primers but modified to include overhang sequences. Currently in the lab we have the NebNext DNA Library Prep Kit.

What would be the difference of preparing the libraries (using NebNext) with PCR products with and without overhang seqs?

Does it affect overall analysis sensitivity?

I would appreciate any advice you guys could give me.

Thanks in advance!

The Illumina protocol will more convenient in the long run. If one can avoid ligations and the other library prep steps, I would suggest to do so.

Non-Coding RNA Research and Technologies

by seqadmin

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) do not code for proteins but play important roles in numerous cellular processes including gene silencing, developmental pathways, and more. There are numerous types including microRNA (miRNA), long ncRNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA), and more. In this article, we discuss innovative ncRNA research and explore recent technological advancements that improve the study of ncRNAs.

Recent Developments in Metagenomics

by seqadmin

Metagenomics has improved the way researchers study microorganisms across diverse environments. Historically, studying microorganisms relied on culturing them in the lab, a method that limits the investigation of many species since most are unculturable¹. Metagenomics overcomes these issues by allowing the study of microorganisms regardless of their ability to be cultured or the environments they inhabit. Over time, the field has evolved, especially with the advent...

Understanding Genetic Influence on Infectious Disease

by seqadmin

During the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists observed that while some individuals experienced severe illness when infected with SARS-CoV-2, others were barely affected. These disparities left researchers and clinicians wondering what causes the wide variations in response to viral infections and what role genetics plays.

Jean-Laurent Casanova, M.D., Ph.D., Professor at Rockefeller University, is a leading expert in this crossover between genetics and infectious...
